Mr. Blaine has telegraphed Senator Harrison that he cannot come to Innext week. There is hope, however, that he will be able to visit the state later in the campaign.

The workiuguieu of Canada are to hold a national convention for the purpose of petitioning the government for changes in the laws by which workingmen may ie relieved from the hard times now prevailing in Canada. Strange as it may seem the Canadian workingmen do not blame tb« protective tariff policy of this country for the dullness of trade in Canada.

The country would be pleased to hear from Mr. Cleveland on the tariff question (hough be said no more than that be was in favor of an "incidental'1 tariff. That much would be Bomething from him. although without significance, rhyme or reason from any one else. If. is the dearth of information aboui the vie«vs of the h«avy-set man at Albany of which the country complains.

A gentleman who recently arrived here from Terre Haute, Indiana, says that a Cleveland and Hendricks club was formed there just before he left, and the Dames of fifty-six Republicans were enrolled. Our informant was a Republican, bat his statement was verified by a Democrat.

We find the above in the Winfield (Kan.) Telegram. It is entitled to prominence by the fact that the gentleman from Terre Haute is not reflecting a proper amount of credit on the Wabash valley, lie should have exerted his tal«nts and told a good, big lie while he was at it. Why not have claimed 15G Republicans as well as 56?

In the national Democratic convention General Bragg said Cleveland's friends loved him for the enemies he had made. This was said in reply to Grady, who had first told of Cleveland's unpopularity among the workingmen and Irishmen of New York. Yesterday the Gazette published a dispatch telling of General Bragg's renomination for congress and gives it the heading: "For the enemies he has made." This was tho Daily Gazette, which is mildly Democratic in its politics. W8 would hardly thought the insult to our Irish fellow-citizens worthy of notice had it appeared in the Weekly Gazette, which is "Independent" in its politics. ______________

Now we hear thataconsin of Grover Cleveland, a Rev. F. P. Cleveland, from near Rockford, 111., says that he haB received a letter from the Demoeratic candidate in which the information is conveyed that there will be revelations to excite the sympathy of all honest men and will show him to be a man who has made great sacrifices for his friends. We are glad to hear that another defense is to be made, and hope it will be as clear and conclusive as those which we have had. They were masterpieces, and furnished all the proof necessary of Cleveland's wrong doings that had not already been given to the public by the Buffalo clergymen.

The confessions by state's witnesses in the Irish murder trials are increasing in number and are so strong in detail that there is no longer any doubt that innocent men have suffered the death penalty. Worse than this, it looks as if some of the high officials of rrient have been

The Democratic candidate for congress in the adjoining Illinois district apparently ia no more in favor of a joint debate than our own Lamb, as will be seen by the correspondence we publish this morning. Mr. Cannon is the present congressman from the Danville and Paris district, yet with all of hiB ten years' service as a representative of his district he did not feel compelled to plead that a challenge should come from the candidate who had not served in congress, as did. Mr. Lamb in this district. Mr. Cannon promptly challenged General Black, who is conceded to be one of the ablest orators in the Democratic party. General Black uses a very tame excuse for avoiding the debate, and Mr. Cannon aptly replies to him.

Ex-President Woolsey of Yale, who was greatly counted upon by the Dependents as one who would join them in opposing Blaine, has written another letter in which he states his position. He says:

It is true that I have formed the opinion that Mr. Blaine could not have acted dishonestly in this transaction to which you refer. I based my opinion on Mr. Hoar's defense of hiq at first, as well as on the confidence entertained in him by Mr. Garfield and Messrs. Da wee, Hawlay and Edmunds, of the United States senate, who have long known him. As for the especial charges in tbe Fisher and Mulligan affair, I may refer you especially to a pamphlet which I suppose to be written by George Bliss, of New York. May I add that the character of tbe president is only one of several things to be considered in this election. More important is the general character of the two parties and especially the reliance which can be reposed on the two partiee in their interpretation of the constitution, the moral and religious worth to be found in the two, and their past respect for the constitution. And of no small importance is the ability and power of judging in the two men now the candidates of the two parties. Mr. Cleveland seems to me a very small man, and unable to act independently on important questions. If, then, all things are put together, the ability and character of the two, the party supporting 3hem, and the dnigjr of throwing a great weight of influence on the men whevbreught on the war, there can be no doubt that Mr. Blaine ought to be supported.

Religion, Morality and Politics. Christian Advocate, Organ of the Methodist C&urch.

A charge of gross immorality, specifically made and not denied, or, in case of denial, not disproven, introduces into a campaign a non-political and most painful element It is an occasion for the deepest sorrow that elements of this kind have entered the pending presidential campaign. The consequences of acknowledged or known vice in the highest positions in the state are far-reaching, socially and morally. When gross wickedness ia no impediment to the attainment of the highest places in a republic, and the fact is advertised to the youth of the land, virtue is poisoned at the fountain.

It is the solemn duty of every religions paper to emphasize the grave issues involved in the present campaign. That duty the Christian Advocate now performs. It calls upon its readers to gravely consider all the allegations made, and how tbey are met in each case to remember that sexual immorality and lax ideas of honesty and honor are two of tbe chief evils that threaten oar country jrjd to observe that intemperancsOjibides being the cause of manyjffftawhich, with-

out it, could not exist, fosters these two in a fearful manner. It urges them to ponder the far-reaching consequences of votes which in effect condone moral evil of any sort And having done this, it asks the bnsbandB, fathers, and brothers of the laid to exercise nnusoal thoughtfulness deciding for whom to vote this year. The choice should not be a choice of "principles and not men," nor "men and not principles," certainly not men versus principles, but should be men and principles. Can these be found united? If not, then indeed we are in evil case, and nothing remains for the Christsin patriot but to do that which, on the whole, seems most likely to strengthen the foundations of social, political and personal morality.

The implication made by certain secslar journals that our great men have been all morally bad is flagrantly false, and its falsity should be made evident It has never been the practice of Amerioan voters to place libertines in high position. It is true, nevertheless, that some of the most unsavory qualities of our modern politi cal struggles are due quite as much to the greatly elevated standard of public morals as to the differences between the private character of candidates. One of the most hopeful signs of the times is to be found in the fact that what would have been regarded fifty years ago as the harmless peccadilloes of a society man are now regarded as public property, and are characterized truthfully as vice and crime.

Every political party should be taught this autumn by the voters of this nation that only men with correct moral principles will be accepted as trustworthy officers. Every aspirant for official dignity should be taught that to "have fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness" involves his political ruin. Every young man and woman in the ladd should be taught that secret wrong-doing will inevitably be disclosed, and that public condemnation, prompt and stern, will be visited upon the licentious.

KEGLY'S TRIUMPH.

He Successfully Fires His Vaporlc Can at Sandy Hook—Army Officers Surprised—A Public £xhtbttfon of the

Vibratory Engine Promised in a Pew Days. Philadelphia Times.

A happier set of men were never congregated than those stockholders of the Keely Motor cpmpany who witnessed the trial of Inventor Keely's vaporic gun yesterday afternoon at Sandy Hook. There was no mysterious hitch in the proceedings, no unexplainable delays. Each resounding detonation of the vaporic charged gun brought freeh hope, and wreathed with smiles the faces of that once forlorn band, the Keely motor stockholders. Keely, around whom so much mystery appeared to cling, appeared impassive, unmoved and even cool amid all the excitement of the hour, only the scintillating brilliancy of his dark eyes showing the nervous tension through which he passed Whatever may be the ultimate result of yesterday's experiments, the striking features md appearance of this man—vague theorist or profound thinker as he may be—will alwayB be remembered by those who watched him.

At 12 O'clock yesterday the steamer Laura M. Starin'having on board two hundred invited guests, left her dock at pier 18, North riv^, New York, for the governmental ordnance station at Sandy Hook. StopB were made at Governor's Islaid and Fort Hamilton, from which plaaes many United States army officers w»re taken on the boat The regimental band of the Fifth artillery marched on board at Fort Hamilton. It was three o'clock before Sandy Hook waareached.

Ine party fouua Inventor Keely already on the ground. He bad come over from Philadelphia by an early morning train, bringing with him the experimental piece of ordinance and two

iron

cylinders resembling in out

ward appearance those used for storing carbonic acid gas. The whole of his apparatus could have been packed in a good sized "dry goods" box. in company with Col. Hamilton of the Fifth United States artilery and Wm. Boeckel, the inventor, had come down to the ordinance station on board the tugboat America. Everything was arranged for the trial. Upon a broad platform raised above the sand a few inches the experimental machinery had been arranged. Four feet of copper tubing, about the diameter of an electric light wire, connected the generator with the gun, entering at the vent. The antique piece of ordnance selected by the inventor to demonstrate the adaptability of the myster ious power which he has brought to light looked like an ordinary vacht cannon, mounted upon a wheeled carriage. In the two-inch bore was inserted a brass tube that projected ten inches beyond the mouth. The gun-barrel is of eteel.

The large generator, to which was attached tbe copper wire tubing, was of chilled iron, with a holding capacity of five gallons. Two feet beyond the generator lay a small heavy iron cylinder, resembling in size and appearance a baker's rolliug-pin. This the inventor styled the intensifies It was of chilled iron, with a capacity of half a gallon. The bore of the copper tube connecting the generator with the intensifier was 'one-sixtieth of an inch in diameter, in appearance the same as that connecting the large cylinder with the gun. To load the gun the inventor unscrewed the barrel and placed againBt the orifics in the chamber three washers, one of rubber and two of amooth guttapercha. This was to prevent as he explained, any leakage of the "etheric vapor" with which the gun was about to.be charged. Screwing the muzzle back in place, he rammed home against the washers a leaden ball weighing nearly five ounces and one and one-sixteenth inches in diameter. Keeley's every motion was eagerly watched in breathless Bilence by the crowd of persons that surrounded three Bides of the platform. He was assisted bv Col. Hamilton and Superintendent Sinclair of the United States Experimental station. The army officers, of whom there were many, made preparations to obtain the velocity of the projectile by means of electric wire nettings, through which the ball would pass in its flight "Stand from around the gun," exclaimed the inventor. "I do not expect it to burst, but it is best to be cautious." The crowd beat a precip itate retreat to a point from which observations could le safely taken. The gun was carefully aimed at the 500yard target and fired with succese, the ball flattening against the iron plating of the disc. Before turning on the force it was noticcd that Mr. Keeley tapped both the cylindrical holder and the cannon witb a wooden mallet This, he explained, was for the purpose of producing the necessary vibration between the holder and the receiver. Col. Hamilton's assistants, who attended to the recorduig of the initial velocity of the projectile, announced, af er several shots had been fired, that a flight of 482 feet per second had been attained. At the eleventh shot there was again in velocity of ten feet and at the twelfth a further increase of thirty-one feet, or an initial velocity of 523 feet per second. The firing was continued for the purpose, as Col. Hamilton said, of testing the velocity of the projectile's flight

The success of the invention as applied to ordnance in the opinion of the army officers was pronounced. Men jostled each other for the privilege of shaking (he inventor's hand. His eyes only showed the great satisfaction that he experienced.

Mr. Keely promised to have finished within two or three weeks a foar-inch breech-loading smooth-bore gun, capable of throwing a correspondingly heavy projectile, which he will exhibit for the purpose of showing more clearly the power of, etheric vapor. "There are now two vibratory engines finished and ready for exhibition,"

mid Charles B. Collier, "and within one month a third engine will be pet fected. We then propose to give a public exhibition, as was to-day seen, and throw open to the world the wonderful inventions made by Mr. Keely.'

The King and the Cholera. Harper's Weekly.

In these days, when king-killers are abroad, no sovereign in Europe has done more to prop op the fabric of royalty, to revive popular faith in the divinity that doth hedge a king, and to make the throne the object of respect and homage, than tbe monarch of Italy. In visiting the cholera hospitals of Naples and lavishing bounty on the sufferers, King Humbert has exhibited those qualities of courage, generosity, and sympathy with the misfortunes of his people which so endeared his father to the hearts of his subjects. The house of the Savoy is very far from being a saintly one. Victor Emanuel, like Henry of Navarre, could never have posed as an ascetic, and Humbert I. comes honestly by bis own faults. But at least there is no jot of cowardice in his veins, as there was none in the veins of the Re Oalantuomo.

It was no spurious peril that King Humbert encountered, since the priesf who accompanied him to the bedside of Busca has fallen a victim to the plague. Nor was his fearlessness a theatrical dibplay, since that could have been secured by a visit to the hospitals alone, whereas the monarch picked his way also amongst the vilest of the city's slums, from which he might well have shrunk with disgust, apart from tbe added terrors of the pestilence. To enter the hospital wardB was a brave act but to penetrate the depths where filth and ignorance alone held sway was to tempt fate from the bewildered desperation of the wretched and superstitious who were striking at their benefactors. Finally, King Humbert made no mere hasty dash into danger, since he ran the gauntlet of contagion day after day.

While this was going on in Italy, the Czar of Russia was surrounding himself in Warsaw with barricades of policemen and soldiery to guard against the approach of his people. Under dire penalties citizens were shut up within their houses as if their presence was infection and pollution. Hundreds of them were arrested on suspicion of being assassins, and some may expiate hypothetical crimes by lifelong axile in Siberia. What was heralded as a friendly visit of their ruler became to them a curse. Could historic contrast be greater than these two synchronous pictures—Humbert in Naples and Alexander in Warsaw

New Stories of Sydney Smith. Every Other Saturday.

"Most people" said Sydney Smith, "sulk in stage coaches I always talk. I have had some amusing journeys from this habit. On one occasion, a gentleman in the coach with me, with whom I had been conversing for some time, suddenly looked out of the window as we approached York and said: "There is a very clever man, they say, but a duced odd fellow, lives near here —Sydney Smith, I believe.' 'He may be a very odd fellow,' said I, taking off my hat to him and laughin, 'and I dare Bay he is but, odd as he is, he is here, very much at your service.' Poor man! I thought he would have sunk into his boots, and vanished through the bed of the carriage, he was so distressed but I thought that I had better tell Him at once, or he might proceed to say I had mnrdered my grandmother, which I must have resented, you know. On another occasion, some years ago, when going to Broughton Hall, two raw Scotch girls got into the coach in the dark, near Carlisle. 'It is very disagreeable getting into a coach in the dark,' oxolatmad QJUJ, after arranging her bandboxes 'one can not see one's company.' 'Very true, ma'am, and you bave a great loss in not seeing me, for I am a remarkably handsome man.' 'No, sir! are you, really?" said both. 'Yes, and in the flower of my youth.' 'What a pity!' said they. We soon passed near a lamp-post they both darted forward to get a look at me. 'La, sir, you seem very stout.' 'Oh, no, not at al! ma'am it's only my great coat.' 'Where are you going, sir?' To Brougham hall.' 'Why, you must be a very remarkable man, to be going to Brougham Hall.' '1 am a very remarkable man, ma'ma.' At Penrith they got out, after having talked incessantly, and tried every possible means to discover who I was, exclaiming as they went off laughing, 'Well, it is very provoking we can see you, but we'll find out who you are at the hall Lord Brougham always comes to tbe hall at Penrith, and we shall certainly be there, and shall soon discover your name.'"

An Aged Woman.

Philadelphia Times. Dr. Wm. A. Clarke, of Trenton, N. J., has discovered among his patients a colored woman claiming to be 112 years old. She resides on Quarry alley with her daughter Mrs. Hannah Carey. She is both blind and bedfast. Blindr ness is the result of her extreme old age. Owing to growing childishness she cannot keep up a conversation. Her Bkin is wrinkled and withered on hands and face, and there seems hardly a particle (St fiesh on her bones. Her nails, growing to a point, extend nearly an inch from her finger-tips. She keeps Her face in her hands and talks to herself all day long of men and women who have been in their graves for a generation.

She Bays her age is all in her big Bible, except that she is three years older than the Bible record. According to a line in the book referred to she was born in 1775. She was born in Bucks county, Pennsylvania. Her maiden name was Francisca Limehouse, and she was married to Jacob Perry at the beginning of the century. The couple lived together until ten years ago,when her husband was killed on the railroad near Doylestown. Then the old lady was brought to this city. Mrs. Perry is the mother of eighteen children. Six only are still living, and five of them are women. One of the daughters is tottering on the brink of the grave. Her youngest daughter is nearly 60 years old. Mrs. Perry's progeny has quite outgrown her knowledge. Besides eighteen children she had grandchildren by the score and numerous great grandchildren are now at a marriageable age. One of Mrs. Perry's daughters living at Fallsington has borne thirteen children, another has borne eleven and another ten. The venerable woman certainly looks as old as she is represented. One of her sisters died a year ago in Bucks coonty, aged 108.

Senator Fesnenden's Hnmor, Bee. Feriey Poors in Boston Bnnget. Senator Feesenden was not destitute of humor, as has been asserted. On the contrary, he enjoyed repartee on a good story, and he would sometimes illustrate an argument with an anecdote. One afternoon in February, 1858, Jeflereon Davis, A. G. Brown and other southern senators had declared that when the people of the north and south got divided on any question, there would be a crises and the anion would be dissolved. Senator Feasenden was not disposed to be frightened. He was reminded, he said, of an accident which had occurred in the Mexican war, when a general rode up to Capt Duncan, who was in charge of a battery, and with a very grave and sober face said: "Captain Dancan, fire tbe crisis has arrived." Duncan turned to his men, who stood at their places with matches all lighted and ready, and gave the order to fin! An old axtQeryman walked up to him and and: "Captain, I do not see any of the enemy within

What shall we fire at?"

range.

at the crisis," was the response "did] you not hear the general sav the crisis has come? Fire at that5' So, said Senator Fessenden, it is with gentlemen, I think, in reference to this matter. They are always charged aad ready to fire at the crisis. I belive it has arrived half a dozen times within my recollection.

One of Sam Houston's Stories. Boston Budget.

Gen. Kim Houston, in a speech in the senate in February, 1854, on the Nebraska bill, related an anecdote aa illustrating the aentiments of Senators Douglas, Hunter and others who had spoken on the repeal of the Missouri compromise as affecting the presidential question. It was customary at one time (said Gen. Houston), in Georgia, for magistrates assembled in quorum courts to fill vacancies among justices of the peace during the recess of the legislation. The muster bonnds were then called company beats. On one occasion a vacancy happened in the magistrates in the beat of Capt Waters. An upright, honest, robust, athletic Irishman named Yeet was a candidate for the vacancy, and he being a gentleman accustomed to giving his friends atapping on the head on all occasions when they opposed him, he was advised to attend the court He did so, and so secured the favor of two of the five justices. Toward the close of the day, and as Saturdav night drew on, one of his friends said, "Oh, there is a vacancy in Capt Waters' beat, whom shall we appoint?" His other friend immediately answered: "Sure, and yonder iB Mr. Yeet, who lives there. He can recommend some one." Yeet was therefore called up, and asked if he knew any man on the beat whom he could recommend to fill the vacancy in the justices of the peace. Yeet responded: "May it plase yer honcas, I've lived in that same bate these fifteen years, and know every man, woman and child who ever lived there but now I'll spake toyer honora just as if I wasn't here at all, and didn't know anything in reference to it, and divil a fitiner man in the whole bate than myself for the place."

Easy to See Through,

How can a watch—no matter how costly—be expected to go when the mainspring won't operate? How can anyone be well when his stomach, liver or kidneys are out of order? Of course you say, "Hecannot." Yet thousands of people drag along miserably in that condition not sick abed,but not able to work with comfort and energy. How foolish, when a bottle or two of Parker's Tonic would set them all right. Try it, and get back your health and spirits
